(2) 3.2 boiling point  (1) 3.3 mass of the haloalkane / halogen  (1) 3.4 length of the carbon chain  (also accept: atmospheric pressure OR just pressure) (1) 3.5 So that the investigation may be deemed valid.  (also accept: Changes in pressure affect the boiling points of liquids) (1) 3.6 As the size / mass of the halogen attached to the methane increases, the boiling point increases. (2) 3.7 As the size / mass of the halogen attached to the methane increases, the size/mass of the whole compound increases, therefore the surface area increases and the strength of the intermolecular forces / Van der Waals forces / London forces, increases. More energy is needed to break the forces and therefore the boiling point increases. (3) [11] Copyright reserved Please turn over

An increase in the temperature of the system results in a greater number of particles with sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy of the reaction . This results in more effective collisions per unit time OR a higher chance of an effective collision occurring, resulting in a higher reaction rate . (3) [10] Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Physical Sciences/P2 6 September 2014 NSC-Memorandum QUESTION 6 6.1.1 Dynamic (Equilibrium) – Refers to the fact that the forward and reverse reactions continue to take place simultaneously without stoppingand the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, when (2) equilibrium is reached . (changes in macroscopic properties cease, changes in microscopic properties continue) 6.1.2 (a) 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)  (2) (b) 2SO3(g) → 2SO2(g) + O2(g)  (2) 6.1.3 There was an increase in pressure . This increases the rate of both the forward and reverse reactions due to the particles being closer together and effective collisions occurring more frequently. However, the forward reaction is favoured & therefore the rate of the forward reaction is increased more to turn 3 moles of gas into 2 moles of gas to relieve the increased pressure  (3) 6.1.4 The catalyst was removed  (1) 6.2 n(O2) = m M = 9,6 32 = 0,3 mol 2H2 (g) O2(g) 2H2O(g) Mol in the beginning 0,5 0,5 0 Mol reacted 0,4 0,2 0,4  ratio Mol at equilibrium 0,1 0,3  0,4  [ ] at equilibrium 0,5 1,5 2,0 divide by V(0,2) Kc = [H2O]2  [H2]2[O2] = (2,0)2 (0,5)2(1,5)  (7) = 10,67  [17] Copyright reserved Please turn over
